~Bulgarian Vacation~

Last week, we went to Bulgaria with the Smiths.

We left on Sunday the 15th and returned to Romania on Friday the 20th. The villa where we stayed was in Balchick, which is really close to Varna. It was a very big villa. There were also a lot of things that one could do throughout the day. There was a swimming pool where we spent a lot of time playing together:

While the kids played in the pool, the moms (and sometimes Avisa aka Alyssa) would sit and read their books:)

There was also a basketball hoop:



Cameron Han-han

Andrew

Avisa, Becka and Emily waiting
for more people to come and
play knock out:)

We also had a miniature golf course
in the backyard. It was fun:)

When it would get too hot to
be outside, Andrew and Mr.
Smith would play guitar or
we would watch a movie:

On Monday and Thursday,
we went to the beach and played in the waves:
Emily and Avisa getting My mom and Dad
ready to go swimming

Andrew liked to sit and be Avisa liked to play in the sand:)
pushed by the waves:)

It was really fun to swim in the sea:) We also collected a lot of pretty shells.

On Wednesday, we went into Varna and played put-put golf. We also went and saw ruins of the ancient Roman Baths. They were very cool.

I think that everybody had a fun time playing put-put:)

There were 18 different holes. Some of them were really hard, while others were quite easy.

We had three teams, The parents/Han-han, Andrew and Cameron/ Emily, Avisa and me.

Resting after playing for almost an hour:)

The Roman Bath Ruins:

It was neat to imagine the Romans walking through these baths in their togas 2000 years ago.

We also went to a Dolphinarium in Varna. The dolphins were amazing. They did a lot of tricks like dancing, singing, playing soccer,jumping through hoops, and lots more:) i don't have any of the pictures right now because Mrs. Smith has them. so when i get them, i will post them. Enjoy your summer:)
